Industrial output has fallen to its lowest growth rate in more than a year, retail sales have slowed sharply, and car sales dipped for the first time in eight months.Exports are now falling year-on-year, imports have stalled, and the once-powerful property sector is weakening again with home prices sliding across most major cities.In today’s video, I break down the latest numbers and explain what they tell us about the true state of the Chinese economy.

“On November 4, Starbucks, the global coffee giant, announced it would sell 60% of its business in mainland China to the local private equity firm Boyu Capital. Surprisingly, just a few days later, the stores had completely transformed! The usual Western light music was replaced with high-energy Chinese pop songs, cranked up to the max. It’s a clear ‘get in, get out’ strategy—drink up and leave quickly! The topic ‘What happened to Starbucks’ new playlist?’ even trended on November 11. Many longtime customers said the vibe was gone, and the café now feels like a small-town milk tea shop! Those who used to hang out in Starbucks pretending to work, well, they might not find this ‘high-end’ refuge anymore.”

Taiwan Vice President Bi-khim Hsiao delivered the keynote remarks to the Inter-Parliamentary Alliance on China (IPAC) annual summit in Brussels, while former president Tsai Ying-wen addressed the Berlin Freedom Conference. Both Taiwanese leaders used their historic speeches to urge unity among democratic countries against the shared threat of authoritarianism. This diplomatic offensive in Europe comes as Beijing has expanded its use of propaganda, lawfare and gray-zone tactics to isolate and intimidate Taipei and its partners. What did Hsiao and Tsai accomplish in the EU? And is there any merit to Beijing’s attempt to draw a parallel between Germany’s peaceful reunification and a potential invasion of Taiwan? In this episode, we discuss Taiwan-European relations, Germany’s balancing act and how Taipei should respond to Beijing’s latest threats.

While exports are rerouted and subsidies run dry, even state media can’t hide the cracks. In this episode, we uncover how the CCP is keeping the economy alive with taxes, debt, and deception — and why the real crash, when it comes, may be sudden and unstoppable.
